How Amazing Spider-Man's Director Feels About Not Finishing His Trilogy

As Andrew Garfield notes, none of this was meant to be, and Marvel will now preside over the next Spider-Man movie, with Tom Holland in the role. I would love to have notes from Marc Webb about what he wanted in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, but for now, it will remain an unfinished story.

What Amazing Spider-Man 3 Was Going To Focus On, According To Andrew Garfield

The actor's turns in all three films provide them with some of the best, funniest, and most memorable moments, and the fact that the incarnation went away with the franchise reboot is still considered one of comic book cinemas greatest losses. But could Simmons' Jameson ever return to the big screen?

J.K. Simmons As J. Jonah Jameson Again? Here's What The Actor Said

The Spider-Man films DID cross the $700 million mark globally, so while they aren’t Transformers movies, or Marvel movies (not yet, anyway), they aren’t exactly flops. The films bring in dollars. The problem might be how much the Spider-Man movies cost to make in the current climate.

Sony Thinks Its New Spider-Man Movies Will Make A Fortune

It’s not smart to bet against a sequel, because Hollywood loves revisiting any idea that worked at least once. (Hello, Horrible Bosses 2!) Still, these 12 announced – or teased – sequels seem dead in the water, so pulling the metaphorical plug on them seems inevitable.

12 Sequels That Will Never Happen

Spider-Man might be making a move away from Sony and into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to various reports. Does that mean the current Spider-Man, actor Andrew Garfield, is going along with him?

Spider-Man Might Bail On Andrew Garfield, Here's The Latest

I always find it fascinating when an actor admits that they haven’t seen a film that they worked on. Johnny Depp is one of those performers who notoriously claims to have never seen a film that he acts in (at least, from start to finish). What, then, is the point?

The Vindictive Reason A Key Amazing Spider-Man 2 Actor Will Never Watch The Film

The future looked bright for Sony’s wall-crawling hero. Now plans are murky. Fluid. Uncertain. So we have seven items we’d love to see addressed – and repaired – to help get everyone back on board for The Amazing Spider-Man 3.

6 Spidey Things That Need To Be Fixed Before The Amazing Spider-Man 3

During an interview, Garfield had to field Spidey questions… specifically, would he be part of Drew Goddard’s The Sinister Six movie, which plans to unite six Spider-Man baddies in a mysterious adventure. One might assume that a movie like that needs Spider-Man’s involvement. Andrew Garfield disagrees.

Spider-Man Isn't Important To The Sinister Six Movie, Says Andrew Garfield

With the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Blu-ray and DVD, the filmmaker and his team FINALLY can begin sharing some answers, via commentary tracks, deleted scenes and featurettes, many of which have been leaking online over the past few days.

Spider-Man Director Confirms Three Planned Members Of The Sinister Six

If you're doing the math at home, you just counted eight baddies, which means this is not the Sinister Six lineup (particularly not with a Venom solo movie also on the horizon). It is interesting that you'd see those earlier baddies there from Sam Raimi's films, particularly considering there are sketches of Doctor Octopus and the Vulture in the room that Marc Webb discusses here briefly, known as “Special Projects.”

Still, there are characters out there that can fit the bill. Spider-Man is one of the few characters that, in comics and film, has appealed heavily to women. There's a fanbase there, especially considering The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may not have reached a theatrical profit, but hit $700 million, reaching a really heavy number of eyeballs.

5 Female Superheroes Sony Should Pluck From The Spider-Man Universe

The thrill of an extended Spider-Man family sort of comes from the villains, so it's curious to see Sony push forward with non-Spidey heroes. The equivalent to this would be if the WB put Batman on ice and made Nightwing, Batgirl and The Red Hood movies -- which, truly, is not a crazy idea.

Sinister Six And The Amazing Spider-Man 3 Announce Release Dates

That... does not sound promising. Of course, the reason Orci hasn't been close with Sony lately is because he's prepping Star Trek 3. Ultimately, his input on a Spidey movie coming in 2016 or 2017 was always going to be limited, even though he and writing partner Alex Kurtzman were hired to write that third film.

In actuality, the swollen international numbers for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 have to do with an expanding worldwide marketplace and the 3D surcharges. If we're talking purely domestic, each Spider-Man film has grossed less than the previous entry.

The $92 million take severely trails not only the monster opening of 2007's Spider-Man 3 but even the $115 million scored by the non-3D Spider-Man on the same weekend twelve years ago. The Amazing Spider-Man was the lowest grossing film of the series, and this next one might perform even weaker, despite the boost received from the biggest box office weekend of the year.

5 Bold Options For Spidey In The Wake Of Amazing Spider-Man 2

It would seem that there is a very bright future in store for the Spider-Man villain known as Kraven The Hunter. First gaphics from the end credits of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hint that the character will end up being one of the main villains that the web-slinger will have to face in the upcoming Sinister Six movie, and now director Marc Webb is strongly hinting at his desire to use the character in an upcoming movie.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Contains A Massive Norman Osborn Easter Egg

For those of you unaware, Marvel's Ultimate line of comics was considered a reboot, a way to adapt older stories into contemporary times. After Peter Parker died, the legacy he left behind inspired a young black teenager named Miles Morales to take on the mantle of Spider-Man.

The Amazing Spider-Man 4 Won't Arrive Until After The Venom And Sinister Six Spin-Offs

The bigger question – now that Webb has made this clear – is how much longer Andrew Garfield will stay in the Spidey suit. He’s 30 now. He’ll be 32 by the time Spidey 3 comes out, and pushing 35 if he were to stay for a fourth.

Marc Webb Confirms He Won't Direct The Amazing Spider-Man 4

The comic book movie world was changed forever when Marvel Studios released The Avengers in 2012. While studios had spent decades thinking that self-contained franchises for single superheroes was the best course of action, The Avengers box office proved that strategy isn’t enough anymore and that audiences want to see massive, multi-picture interlocking series up on the big screen.

Hero Blend #6: The Present And Future Of The Amazing Spider-Man

When you think about it, it's pretty rare for the same director to helm a full trilogy of modern superhero movies. Tim Burton only made two Batmans, Jon Favreau only made two Iron Mans, and Bryan Singer only made two X-Men. There are some exceptions to this of course, two being Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) and Christopher Nolan (Batman), but today we learn that list is about to become one name longer.

The Amazing Spider-Man 3 Brings Back Marc Webb To Direct

Discussing the Spidey films, he didn’t drop any main bombshells, but Orci did reveal some of the connective tissue behind these movies. The biggest one seems to be that these films are basically going to have a hub of activity, and that hub will be Oscorp.
